Question
What should be done if a two-month-old baby refuses to drink formula milk and breast milk is insufficient?
Answer
Without introducing complementary foods, it may affect the development of the baby’s taste buds, leading to picky eating habits in the future. Moreover, breast milk at this age may not meet the nutritional needs of the child. Therefore, a baby who does not drink formula milk can start consuming complementary foods. It is recommended to introduce complementary foods from four to six months old, starting with egg yolks, gradually increasing the quantity, and then adding rice cereal and vegetable juice.
